Unless you are a professional auto body man, you would be much better off trying to find a cab in a junkyard.

If you really want to do this you will need to pull all of the glass. Then you will need to cut all of the spot welds in the pinch welds where the glass was mounted. About one to two inches down on the a and b pilliars there is a seam that you will need to find. It is filled with lead body filler and brazed together. So you will need to grind paint off until you find it. You may see where the seam is when you pull the glass. It is not too hard of a job if you have the correct tools if you have performed this type of work. I would not recomend doing this if it is your first time doing body work.

Replacing any body panel or skin requires locating the edges of the panel, and cutting the spot welds. In the case of the roof, there maybe several places where the panel is glued to a frame or other body members, which needs to be unbonded, also you will need to seperate the roof at the rain gutters, which means removing a bunch of body caulk.
